Although the Wireless Audio Adapter is delivered out of the box pre-configured with default factory settings, it is likely that you will need to modify this configuration to suit your own wireless network. The WAAI's main task is therefore to configure Wireless Audio Adapters being added to your wireless network. In addition, you can upload new firmware for your Wireless Audio Adapter.There are typically three ways in which the WAAI software can communicate with a Wireless Audio Adapter device:• Peer-to-peer (ad-hoc)The PC running the WAAI software has a wireless network interface card installed and you do not use an Access Point (AP).• Wireless, via an Access Point (AP)The PC running the WAAI software has a wireless network interface card installed and an Access Point is used as a hub; it is likely that you have multiple wireless devices communicating to the Internet via that AP.• Wired, via an Access Point (AP)
Getting Started 7Wireless Audio Adapter Insert Logo Graphic HereThe PC running the WAAI has a wired connection to an AP and the Wireless Audio Adapter communicates wirelessly with the AP. The WAAI software assumes that if you have wireless network interface card installed, you already have a wireless network set up. The WAAI can only read the wireless network configuration (used to set up new Audio Adapters) if the wireless network interface card is connected to that wireless network. If the WAAI detects that the wireless net-work interface card on your system has no network connection, it displays a warning.Configure New Wireless Audio Adapter - PC on Wireless Network1. Connect the electrical cable to the Wireless Audio Adapter and connect it to the power supply.2. Turn on the power on the Wireless Audio Adapter. The device is now in its default wireless settings. These set-tings are used by the WAA Installer software to configure the WAA. 3. Open the WAA Installer Software4. Once the main panel is displayed, click the button “Add WAA ...”The Add New Audio Adapter Wizard will help you to configure a new Wireless Audio Adapter. This allows the WAAI software to discover the Wireless Audio Adapter on the network.This wizard is started when the PC running the WAAI Software has a wireless network interface card installed. The wizard will attempt to setup a new Wireless Audio Adapter to run on your wireless network.IMPORTANT: The WAAI software can only detect new Wireless Audio Adapters when they are configured with the default factory settings.NOTE: The WAAI software may conflict with your network interface card's wireless management program. If you encounter problems, disable the client management application and try again.In general, the wizard will:• assume that the Wireless Audio Adapter is configured with factory settings, is powered on and is in range• read the wireless network settings from your wireless network interface card• temporarily change the wireless configuration of your wireless network interface card to match the factory set-tings of the Wireless Audio Adapter• write the wireless settings for your wireless network to the Wireless Audio Adapter• restore the previous settings to your wireless network interface card The wireless network configuration is read from your wireless network interface card. If WEP protection is enabled, a WEP key is required. For security reasons, the WEP key is write only and thus cannot be read by the WAAI application from your wireless network interface card. If the WAAI application detects that WEP protection is enabled, it will ask you to enter the WEP key. The WEP key will be used to configure the Wireless Audio Adapter.Step 1The wizard displays the current wireless network configuration based on your wireless network interface card set-tings. If WEP protection is enabled, you must enter the WEP key here.Step 2The wireless configuration of your local wireless network interface card is temporarily changed to match the Wireless Audio Adapter's factory settings.If this step fails, check the following:• Make sure the Wireless Audio Adapter is powered on.• Make sure the Wireless Audio Adapter is in range.• Make sure the Wireless Audio Adapter is using factory settings (use the Reset button).• Disable your wireless network interface card client management program, and restart the WAAI application.

24 Revision 03092420User ManualOperating the Wireless Audio Adapter Installer (WAAI) SoftwareIntroductionThe Wireless Audio Adapter Installer (WAAI) is a tool for managing the configuration of your Wireless Audio Adapter(s) from your computer. Although the Wireless Audio Adapter is delivered out of the box pre-configured with default factory settings, it is likely that you will need to modify this configuration to suit your own wireless network. The WAAI's main task is therefore to configure Wireless Audio Adapters being added to your wireless network. In addition, you can upload new firmware for your Wireless Audio Adapter.There are typically three ways in which the WAAI software can communicate with a Wireless Audio Adapter device:•Peer-to-peer (ad-hoc)The PC running the WAAI software has a wireless network interface card installed and you do not use an Access Point (AP).•Wireless, via an Access Point (AP)The PC running the WAAI software has a wireless network interface card installed and an Access Point is used as a hub; it is likely that you have multiple wireless devices communicating to the Internet via that AP.•Wired, via an Access Point (AP)The PC running the WAAI has a wired connection to an AP and the Wireless Audio Adapter communicates wirelessly with the AP. The WAAI software assumes that if you have wireless network interface card installed, you already have a wireless network set up. The WAAI can only read the wireless network configuration (used to set up new Audio Adapters) if the wireless network interface card is connected to that wireless network. If the WAAI detects that the wireless net-work interface card on your system has no network connection, it displays a warning.Regardless of whether your PC has a wireless or wired network interface card installed, you also need to have installed and configured TCP/IP for this card. Please see the manual for your operating system for details on how to do this.NOTE: Only wireless NDIS 5.1-compliant network interface cards are supported!Starting the WAAITo start the WAAI, double-click the WAAI icon on your desktop or open the waai.exe file in Windows Explorer under the folder where you installed the software (the default installation folder is C:\Program Files\MyCompany\Wireless Audio Adapter Installer).
Operating the Wireless Audio Adapter Installer (WAAI) Software 25Wireless Audio AdapterThe above window is displayed. The window consists of:• A list of the Wireless Audio Adapters currently available on the network (if any)• A status bar which displays messages about current items/actions.• A navigation area with buttons for common tasks.
